		<description>R&#039; Shlomo gave over a very powerful teaching related to the blessings that Yitzkhak wished to convey to Eisav:

We all know the end of the story, that Ya&#039;akov received the blessings Yitzchak had intended to confer upon Eisav. However, there was one blessing that Ya&#039;akov never received from Yitzchak ===&gt; When Yitzchak addresses Eisav initially, he says:&quot;I&#039;m getting older. Please fix me a fresh meal of foods I like; I&#039;d like to bless you&quot;.
Ya&#039;akov, despite getting the blessings, never heard Yitzchak express the desire to bless him. 

Perhaps, when we acknowledge G-d&#039;s infinite kindness in granting us Da&#039;at and instilling us with Binah, we are closing a circle. G-d&#039;s gift of understanding is akin to His telling us &#039;I want to bless you so you may be capable to access the other blessings I wish to confer upon you&#039; =&gt; As Ya&#039;akov&#039;s children, the historical omission by Yitzchak is made whole. 

Just the ability to utter in prayer &quot;Baruch ATAH...&quot; is mind-blowing. Can you imagine how powerful it is to be able to talk to G-d!!!!</description>
